Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics: From Air Pollution to Climate Change

The only single-source reference available on atmospheric chemistry, aerosols, and atmospheric modelsThis fully revised and expanded version of John H. Seinfeld's successful Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics of Air Pollution provides a rigorous, comprehensive treatment of the chemistry of the atmosphere. With new chapters on such important topics as cloud physics, nucleation, and wet deposition, this book offers a truly up-to-date examination of atmospheric chemistry today, including:Chemistry of the stratosphere and troposphereFormation, growth, dynamics, thermodynamics, and properties of aerosolsMeteorology of air pollutionTransport, diffusion, and removal of species in the atmosphereFormation and chemistry of cloudsInteraction of atmospheric chemistry and climateRadiative and climatic effects of gases and particlesFormulation of mathematical chemical/transport models of the atmosphere.Complete with solved examples, problems graded according to difficulty, and hundreds of illustrations, this state-of-the art reference is an ideal resource for both students and professionals in all areas of engineering as well as atmospheric science.
